Right i go and get me shopping and you lot run around like you've been let out on day release.

I am off to make me baked potato but would soooo love chips and gravy..It is a northern thing.

How long to I do baked potatoes in the microwave if I then want to put them in the oven to crisp them???/

God I am so thick!

Snaggles

BB (or other cookery experts) - I have this recipe that is gorgeous but I don't know how to actually cook it.

You chop rosemary very finely, and mix with olive oil, rub it all over a piece of cod, then wrap in smokey bacon and bung in oven.

But I have no idea how long for, or what temperature, and cos the fish is wrapped up, it's not easy to see if it's ready.

Any suggestions for time/temperature? I have never baked fish before so I've really no idea.

I'm just in the middle of getting everything ready for class.

Just noticed a bit of a school boy error in the list of ingredients for next week I'm going to ask them to bring. I want them to bring these


which are savoiardi

I've written ladies fingers which could be misconstrued as these



both are known as 'ladies fingers' - best I clarify it to them otherwise Tiramisu may never be the same again..........

Aren't they 'sponge fingers' BB?
Mmmmm okramisu........its revolutionary if nothing else

just knock a minute off the normal time Sammy, but whack the oven up to about 200c while they are microwaving......works for me

they are italian sponge fingers which are harder than the ones we use in the UK.


Snaggles - I would say 15-20 minutes at gas mark 5 for a medium/large sized piece of fish. Look for the bacon crisping up. Stretch the bacon out if you can. You can also pan fry with butter/olive oil, will take half the time. If after 15 minutes the bacon isn't crisping if baked, take it out of the oven and finish it off for a minute or so in a hot pan.

Have a look on the bottom of the potato, it should say there.
